Webinar Description:

Grant professionals often face rushed proposal timelines and limited staff resources, with little time for editing and increased chances for errors. Yet a careful level of editing allows a reviewer to focus, undistracted, on a proposal, digest key messages, and award evaluation points. Led by a professional copyeditor, this session will share key tools and strategies used by copyeditors that can be applied to writing and editing grant proposals. Grant professionals will learn key concepts of copyediting and identify 5-7 editing strategies to use in future grant proposals.
